Volcanoes...

And there isn't much fuss about it. I think that human mediated climate change is crap, but all this has to make some difference...

I heard about the volcanic eruptions in Iceland-




Then I just saw that there is a volcano erupting in Japan-




Which lead me to try a general search and I found-










How many volcanic eruptions until we can let the farting livestock carry on and drop the silliness about spraying stuff in the upper atmosphere to dim the sun?




New Cambridge Study: Current Climate Projections Significantly Underestimate Impact of Volcanic Eruptions

The team of researchers propose that eruptions of smaller magnitude could be accountable for up to half of all sulfur gases that volcanoes release into the upper atmosphere.

The results, reported in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, suggest that improving the representation of volcanic eruptions of all magnitudes will in turn make climate projections more robust.

Where and when a volcano erupts is not something that humans can control, but volcanoes do play an important role in the global climate system. When volcanoes erupt, they can spew sulfur gases into the upper atmosphere, which form tiny particles called aerosols that reflect sunlight back into space. For very large eruptions, such as Mount Pinatubo in 1991, the volume of volcanic aerosols is so large that it single-handedly causes global temperatures to drop.

*****

“We found that not only is volcanic forcing being underestimated, but small-magnitude eruptions are actually responsible for as much as half of the volcanic forcing,” said Chim. “These small-magnitude eruptions may not have a measurable effect individually, but collectively, their effect is significant.

“I was surprised to see just how important these small-magnitude eruptions are – we knew they had an effect, but we didn’t know it was so large.”

Not surprisingly they wrap up by saying that volcanoes don't really count because the effects are short lived, but c'mon. What iff the eruptions continue regularly [reduced magnetosphere > increased geologic activity]?

Yellowstone erupting would be awesome srs.

Climate has nothing to do with volcanoes.

Could be a long long wait.

I've heard a decent argument made that Yellowstone doesn't erupt because there are many vents and geysers for pressure to escape- doesn't build the necessary pressure for an eruption.
